Reducing the labor burden on elderly silver workers through cardboard conversion. No need for nails or bolts, and with lightweight packaging, anyone, including women, can handle packing! Towards a company that is friendly to workers.

This is a case of improvement at a company that had been relying on elderly silver workers for packaging tasks. Currently, silver workers were assembling wooden pallets (wooden geta) using purchased timber. - It was difficult to secure personnel. - Considering environmental impact, there was a desire to minimize the use of wood. Based on this feedback, we began the design process. [Reasons for not transitioning to cardboard] It seems that there had been a top-down goal to eliminate the use of wood for some time, but progress towards complete cardboard conversion had been slow. - Currently, products were fixed to the wooden geta with bolts. Since cardboard cannot be secured with bolts, this caused hesitation. - We could not find a cardboard manufacturer that could meet these requirements. [Improvements made] - No need for nails or bolts - Lightweight packaging - Elimination of label application (printing directly on the packaging) ↓ ↓ ↓ - Anyone can package - Simplified disposal for end-users (from industrial waste to old paper recycling) - Reduction in air freight costs and more. By simply replacing wood with cardboard, various benefits arise. ↓↓ For more details, please download the materials below and feel free to contact us. ↓↓
